As an ethnically and scientifically interested physician and scientist, Maximilian Bircher-Benner was constantly and undauntedly on the search for the truth. By the early 20 th century, he had already recognized what has become obvious today: The WHO statistics show that in all those countries where our modern medicine is present, there is neither prevention nor healing. Despite the immense amount of efforts, a constantly rising number of people still suffer from obesitiy, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic gastrointestinal disease, allergies, bronchial asthma, liver and gallbladder disease, skin disease, osteoarthritis, arthritis, etc. up to and including cancer. This demonstrates that there must be a "misunderstanding" between our current medical-scientific paradigm and the biology of the human being. Human beings are not learning why they have become ill. The underlying cause is thus usually not treated.
